When is the best time of the year to buy property?

I got asked very often ‘When is the best time of the year to buy property?’

It seems like most first time buyers start looking for properties in spring for some reason. Maybe the weather gets better and people are more willing to be out viewing properties. Or maybe people start to dream about a better life (and house) in the season of hope.

And in the winter people stop looking to move, or being bothered to do anything major. So there are much fewer purchases in the grimmer season.

Seems pretty normal, right?


But as a property investor, you need to know that you have to go against the crowd. Dodge the competition and you will find the best deals.


My best deals were agreed during the winter seasons. Many sellers who sell in the winter have a reason to sell – so they tend to have more motivation to agree a deal with you. And you as an investor, have the opportunity to buy properties at a discount and in return solve a problem for the seller (financially or emotionally).

However, don’t dismiss spring and summer months completely. Ultimately, as you become more experienced, you will discover deals that are hidden gems, which other buyers don’t recognise.

To getting your first property deal this winter!
